Google Wallet on Verizon S4 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

So finally Verizon has opened Goggle Wallet on the S4. After the last update of Google Wallet on the Play Store, i just checked Google Wallet on the S4 and it worked. All the features are available to link your bank account or debit card and credit cards. Also special promotion deals and a lot more things then Verizon's own ISIS.
Check out on your Verizon S4 and update.
I will try to post some screen shots soon.

This happened last week. Note, Verizon didn't do anything, Google just disabled Tap to Pay (Using NFC).

I noticed that it installed & ran, but I've heard from many that it doesn't work for NFC transactions at stores (just person to person). I'm not talking about the people who just say "doesn't ever work!!". It's hit or miss at some stores, as I've used it before on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I think it says "not supported" when you go to pay at an NFC supported terminal. Try it out & let us know...
It should let you add credit/debit cards now as you can pay person to person I mentioned above.

Sucks if TTP is not working
So what good is a Wallet when I cannot do tap to pay via NFC ... it would have been better if the would have kept the application locked as before...
Can you confirm the source of this that Tap to Pay is not working or have you tried it yourself.

It's grayed out on the wallet setup so you can't use it.

You can confirm it yourself: Load Wallet, Menu, Settings, About, Tap and Pay says "Not available".

There's a modded APK that loserskater hacked up to ignore the device specific checks.
I threw it into a CWM/TWRP flashable zip and posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45833601
If you don't have a custom recovery, you'll just need to move the APK and adjust permissions manually (the link to the original APK is in the instructions in the OP of that thread also).

Google Wallet Quirks

So I just spent about the last hour trying to get funds to add to my prepaid Google card and found some quirks that may help others avoid some frustration.
EDIT: THIS INFORMATION MAY BE WRONG!!! It's been mentioned that once the Google Wallet sees the tampered bootloader, we may have problems using Google Wallet.
I also went ahead and already rooted my phone today so that might have been the reason for the problems.
1. There was an update for Google Wallet pending. Before I did that, I couldn't even get my Google prepaid card to activate(and give me $10 bucks)
2. It appears as if you have root on your phone, you will need to grant root permissions to Google Wallet.
3. "Unfortunately Google Wallet Has Stopped Working" - I got this message a lot. I think it may be another issue with root. In order to get around it, I put in all of my card information and then made sure to UNCHECK "Remember this card for future top ups" My thought process behind this is maybe Google wants to make sure that your card information doesn't get stored on a phone that has root access(where the information can be accessed later)
Other thoughts:
I used a Mastercard debit card for my adding of funds even though they say debit cards won't work. I think as long as your debit card can be ran as credit, it will work fine for Google Wallet

it took forever when i did it, maybe a full 60-90 seconds IIRC
Does getting the unsupported device message mean it will work if it has root? When I grant root it still says my device is supported.

I rooted and then set up Wallet. IT asked for root permissions, I denied it. Everything worked fine after that. Admittedly I haven't tried actually using it to pay for something...
It's odd that my app appears to still be working even though I have given it root. Now to try and actually use it today.
So, I rooted using the method on the development page, opened google wallet, it asked for SU permission, I gave it. I was then able to create the prepaid card, it seems to be working now.
The app seems to be working whether you allow or deny SU permissions. Have not been able to test a purchase yet.
Something else to note... When I cleared SU permissions, Wallet cache and data to try it again by denying SU permissions my credit card info was not saved to the cloud and needed to be re-entered. However Citi bank apparently is having issues right now allowing a card to be authorized multiple times and it gets denied. Have been told a fix is being worked on to allow Wallet to be removed from the Citi account and should be ready by Tuesday.
unsupported device ?
Everything seemed to be working fine . Setup account got $10 credit now says unsupported device click to learn more and pretty much says because I gained root access its unsupported . I tried using voodoo ota app to temp unroot and still says same . Any solutions to fix other than running ruu to unroot ? Has anyone tried using to purchase something with the unsupported device and if so what were your results ?
Thanks
Edit : Just tried it out and works
I denied su and everything seems to be working fine for me. Like previously stated it did take about 45 to 60 seconds for the add but it went through fine.

So even though it says "Unsupported device" it still lets you buy stuff? Can you still add funds/cards as well?

I can't get sh*t to work, when I try to add a Google Card i get an error, I don't have a citi card so I cant add that.
For me this doesn't work, am I missing something?
I set up google wallet the day I got the phone, then I rooted it the following day. Tried using the prepaid $10 card at the gas station yesterday, and all I had to do was deny root access when it asked, and the transaction went through.
I haven't tried to add funds and I don't have citi bank so can't comment on that . I didn't set up my account till after root and I denied su . I got my $10 credit and IIRC it didn't say unsupported device till after I got the credit . Posted question right after then I went to 7-11 and used with no problem. It even said unsupported device when wallet opened for purchase. Tried yesterday at MC Donald and it didn't work but it didn't even read the nfc thinking it is because if the new otterbox defender series case though and I didn't want to pull phone out of case. I'll try to add funds and also use again and post my findings.
So does the wallet app need to be opened in order to use it?
I know it says that you just have to wake the device, but everytime I've tried it that way = no good. I'll have to find someplace when it's not busy so I can play around with it, hating trying when got multiple people in line behind me.

u just need ur screen on, no need to load the app
I've had some trouble topping up the pre-paid card. When I enter my CC info the wallet app will force close when I submit the info. However if I uncheck the box that saves the CC info the transaction will go through. It's not a game breaker but it sure is annoying.

So I rooted my phone today to get wifi working, and then decided to try wallet again and it works fine. I allowed it to get root as well, didn't realize when it asked so ...
I now have 10 in credit, will try the payment tomorrow.
Crazy..
Also does wallet just stay running all the time in the tray? Does that affect bat life at all?

[Q] Latest Google Wallet Update Breaks Tap and Pay

Hello,
I just updated my Google wallet app, and now my tap and pay no longer works. Have tried reboots, uninstalls/reinstalls. Has anyone had this issue or know how to fix it ?!?!

It's not Wallet that broke this; it's Sprint with the latest OTA. It can only be fixed if you're rooted.

I will have to disagree with you.
I have had no OTA updates in months on my particular phone. the wallet app was working fine last week, including tap and pay. My app updated, late morning (after i already used it to buy a coffee) and that afternoon tap and pay no longer works at the same location i used it 4 hours earlier. Additionally i tried it at 3 other consoles including vending machines where i work that always work.
There was no OTA in that time frame just an app update. Also i called Google Wallet support, and after 20 minutes of convincing them it was not my battery and case blocking the signal. She admitted it to be a widespread problem with other users. I simply want to know if there is a way to get the functionality back. The app itself no longer has any tap and pay options like it used to in the menus and setting.

If you're not on the latest software (3.17), then it should still work. Just clear account data in the new app, and the tap and pay option should return. I've been using tap and pay in the new updated app with no issues.

Google Wallet

So I did a quick search and didn't see anything in the forums but I wanted to bring this to all AT&T users attention. You can now just install Google Wallet from the app store and the Tap and Pay will work. It actually asks you if you want to use Google Wallet instead of ISIS. Looks like Google Wallet may have won the battle of restricting it to certain phones. I have a rooted stock version of kitkat installed wallet direct from the store and no issues.

Honor 10 & Google Pay

Hello folks,
Did anyone besides me try to get Google Pay (and its "payment in stores"-feature - NFC Payment) to work?
The bank/card I'm using supports Google Pay but as soon as I'm finishing the adding procedure of the card, there's a notification saying I won't be able to pay with it in stores.
Now after I've talked to my bank's support and Google Pay support (who give cryptic answers though) it seems like the Google Pay App just doesn't want to work with the Honor 10.
Which is why I would like to know if there is someone who got GPay to work in their Honor 10.
Thanks in advance for suggestions or sharing experiences!

Check for playstore certification .
If its uncertified its the issue.
On my Honor 10 it works perfectly even with Magisk installed.
In some reviews I heard that in the Chinese version (6gb ram) Gpay did not work.
If you have chinese version - you have answer.

i come to you with amazing news, i had the exact same problem! (i have the 6gb global version)

Then i opened up google pay, and bam, worked straight away!

There should be a default "wallet" app that comes with the phone, when opening it it shows up as "google wallet". However i did notice that when trying to search for it on the play store it doesnt come up.....maybe your right and it was substituted, but i know the "wallet" app came with the phone.
If you havent uninstalled it, then launch that and give it a try, if you have already uninstalled it then i'm not sure what options we have available.

Hey, thanks again.
The only Wallet app that was on my Phone is the Huawei Wallet – which doesn't work for me (in Germany as it seems). I can't add anything there, it'll give me an error instead.
Also, could you maybe describe what exactly didn't work for you before and what does work now?
And do you have the COL-AL10 as well? (mine is the 64gb / 6gb China version – there is no 6gb global version, is there?)
I was now able to add the card to Google Pay successfully so it even shows the card in the Payment ("Zahlung") Tab in the App.
But I still can't get the contactless payment to work. It always says it "Wasn't possible to configure the card for contactless payment in stores".

Mine is the COL-TL10. (6gb 128gb version)
The way the issue would occur for me is, i would go click on google pay, and it would just keep trying to load.....forever, one time i managed to get in then as soon as i tried to add a card it crashed again.
But as mentioned this was all fixed after opening that wallet app (i assume the first launch of it installed something in the background that prevented the crash), how google pay loads up and works perfectly.
It seems we have different phone versions, perhaps that could be why there is the difference with the wallets.
Sorry i couldn't have been of more help
I am having this issue as well on my honor 10 from China
reset to factory your phone, and install these gapps, one by one. SKIP GMS-ONLY INSTALL GMS IF YOU ENCOUNTER GMS ERROR.

Have you personally had this issue and fixed it this way?
No, but i have this package installed and i have no problem with payment and google play is certified.
Do you have COL-AL10(C00)?

Phone tells that I have a newer version of Google Services Framework. I didn't find this app. So now there are 2 apps that I couldn't install - gms and Google Services Framework. What should I do?
Install the rest of them, and all should be good. Did you reset?

Question Google Pay

Does it work?
Thank you
Yes
Did you try? Thank you
Oh my fault! I read "play"
As I read on the internet "it should work". Can only test it as soon as mine has arrived.
I've set mine up but I don't typically use Google pay. If I have the opportunity to use it I'll let you know. It appears to be functional though.
thank you very much, if you set it up will work !
Also wondering if NA bank apps would also work?
Base on Michael Fisher youtube review...he seems to have issue seting up google pay.
Keen on this phone...anyone who got it please do feed back if it works with google pay for contactless payment.
Yes Please...if anyone has the Find N and can verify if Google Pay works it would be very appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Almost pulled the trigger here in Canada but was waiting for someone to have tried google account sync (contacts and calendar) as well as Google pay. Those that are selling it on eBay and no reviewer has said either work (with proof). Hence why I would love if someone can report back here.

I just emailed PDAPlaza asking whether or not they can verify that as I have ordered one but didnt think about the issue of the sync…will let you know what I hear back.
Google pay and banking apps all working fine for me
Google pay works fine for me as do all other Google apps.
Anyone seeing what some of the reviewers have said with apps sleeping and no notifications? Any other watch outs for Google apps not behaving?

Ya, Michael Fisher said he did that but for whatever reason, he was still not getting notifications consistently from the apps he did this to. Oh well....guess people have to try it themselves to truly believe it.
I was so excited to get on here and let you know my seller, PDA Plaza has verified that Google Pay indeed works as does syncing of Google accounts such as calendar and contacts but others beat me to it but good news none the less. I now have to wait to get the phone but just a heads up that Constatine at PDA Plaza has been a fantastic help and really great to work with.
There is a setting under the apps menu to allow the app to run as a foreground service. If you select this then app notifications come through instantly everytime just like any other phone. You so have to allow the app to send notifications as it is set to off for each app by default.

Yes it is and it works - but it is limited to only 5 apps. I would need a lot more apps to work in the foreground. Any solution?
